Technical details
The vulnerability is an unbounded denial-of-service (DoS) via unvalidated request body size in the HTTP proxy's /asset/submit and /mailbox/send routes. The parseBody() function in src/proxy/server/http.js accumulates all incoming request chunks without checking Content-Length or enforcing a cumulative-byte limit. The POST handler forwards the full body payload to store.send(), which persists it verbatim as a JSONL line in messages.jsonl via synchronous fs.appendFileSync(). An unauthenticated local process (another system user, container neighbor, or malicious npm postinstall script) can repeatedly POST multi-megabyte bodies to rapidly fill the disk. On daemon restart, _rebuildIndex() calls fs.readFileSync() synchronously to read the entire messages.jsonl file, causing out-of-memory crashes if the file is multi-gigabytes. The daemon is bound to 127.0.0.1 only, but local access is achievable in multi-tenant dev environments, shared containers, and during npm package installation. Patched in version 1.70.0-beta.5.
